4 If you had your way, no one would fear God;no one would pray to him.
5 Your wickedness is evident by what you say;you are trying to hide behind clever words.
6 There is no need for me to condemn you;you are condemned by every word you speak.
7 Do you think you were the first person born?Were you there when God made the mountains?
8 Did you overhear the plans God made?Does human wisdom belong to you alone?
9 There is nothing you know that we don't know.
10 We learned our wisdom from gray-haired people—those born before your father.
